Given numbers are 178,203,609,874,980

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 178,203,609,874,980 is 3316017180.

Find LCM of 178,203,609,874,980 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 7 x 29 x 89 x 1 x 3 x 437 x 70 = 3316017180

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 178,203,609,874,980 is 3316017180.

LCM formula is LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

Firstly, we have to find the product of all the numbers.

178 x 203 x 609 x 874 x 980 = 18848241651120

Then, let us find the GCF of these five numbers. To do so, we have to list down the factors for each number and choose the highest factor that is in all of the lists.

178 : 1, 2, 89, 178

203 : 1, 7, 29, 203

609 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 29, 87, 203, 609

874 : 1, 2, 19, 23, 38, 46, 437, 874

980 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 49, 70, 98, 140, 196, 245, 490, 980

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 178,203,609,874,980, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

178:2x 89

203:7x 29

609:3x 7x 29

874:2x 19x 23

980:2x 2x 5x 7x 7

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 2x 7x 7x 29 = 5684

Therefore, the value for common factors is 5684.

Now that we have all the elements of the formula, we can plug them in to calculate the LCM.

LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

LCM = 18848241651120/(1x5684)

LCM = 18848241651120/5684

LCM = 3316017180

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 178,203,609,874,980 is 3316017180.
